A Memorial Day we'll never forget

Our group of friends went to Hauser Lake to camp at Hauser Lake for a nice relaxing three day weekend.  Unfortunately and tragically, our dear friend Kevin (Kyler and Ashtyn's dad) had a heart attack and died on Saturday.  We will never be the same.  


Kevin had a chest ache and was going to see a doctor in Helena when the worst happened. These pictures are from Friday night and Saturday while we were waiting for Brandi, Kevin and Mike to return from the doctor in Helena. I have to confess that it seems petty and selfish and wrong to post these pictures, but I feel like my "job" as a blogger mommy is to journal our lives.  This happened.  It was terrible, but it happened. 

The kids all have sit-on-top kayaks, which is the water equivalent of having a bike and being able to ride around the neighborhood.  Freedom, sweet freedom.  We let them go anywhere within the no wake zone near the boat launch. 

Josh, ever serious, paddling his way back. 

Luke racing back. 



Ady on Ty's kayak, running hard.  


This picture makes me happy. The gray water, the brown side slope, and these neon kayaks!

Josh loves this campground for these amazing climbing trees.  He was in several trees over the course of the 24 hours that we were there. 

Josh and Ty are good little buddies.  Somehow Josh's heart is soft and sweet for Ty, and he likes palling around with him. I love it! 

They did a lot of fishing off the dock. No fish were caught.  We were waiting for nicer weather, which never came. 

These are my water boys Saturday evening before we got the terrible news. 




This is little Connor and his best buddy, Dom (aka Tom Ryles).  Dom is a nice and patient man, and Connor knows a good thing when he sees it.  They pal around a lot.  One time during the camp trip we couldn't find Connor, turned out he was in the trailer with Dom just hanging out.  These two...quite a pair.
